Today was apple picking day and of course I had to show you my beauties.
I've put them in a favorite blue enamel wash tub of mine until I'm ready to can them.
The apple tree was here when we bought the house, so I don't know what kind they are.
I am naming them 'blush'.
Because they look like they are blushing to me!
It taste a lot like Granny Smith apple, which just happens to be my favorite apple to eat.
My apple picker didn't want his photo taken.
Can you tell?
Tim picked over two bushels from this little tree.
I'm going to reward him with applesauce and a pie or two.
Sounds like a fair trade to me!
What do you think?

I will be partying here today:
Sounds like a great trade. I have apples to make something from also.

Your apples are very pretty and my hubby would certainly think that was a fair trade!
ReplyDeleteFair trade indeed YUMMY ! My fave apple is also Granny Smiths . Lovely apples and photos . Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteSo pretty I had to pin them! Hope that they are as tasty as they look. Does hubby get an apple pie for helping?
ReplyDeleteWell I feel stupid! Applesauce and a couple of pies...very good deal. (My iPad hung up just as I reached your husband's picture and I thought that was the end. Silly me.)
ReplyDeleteLucky you to have such a great apple tree in your yard. They look delicious. I wonder what variety they are. Did you google apples? That's a great picture of your apple picker. :)
ReplyDeleteGood looking apples! All of the heirloom apple trees here are also loaded with fruit. Hope that isn't a sign of a brutal winter.
ReplyDeleteWOW - beautiful apple photo it makes me want to reach and grab one -- apple sauce or an apple pie either one would be welcome here - wink!
ReplyDeleteSweetheart's can be so handy - right - wink - I bet he'll well enjoy his pie and apple sauce to come!
Hugs
those are beautiful apples, lucky you to have the tree on your own property! I think thats a very good reward for picking!
ReplyDeleteHow yummy to have all those apples. I agree fair trade!! I like to can my own apple pie filling and it comes in so handy for a quick dessert!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy those apples are pretty enough to be in the movies! (okay, maybe not the movies, but perhaps a commercial?) Love that bowl too. Looks like autumn has fallen in your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have your own tree and your own picker!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Those apples are beauties! What a bonus to have a fruit tree already on the property...many years of good eating. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think hubby deserves all kinds of goodies for being such a good picker. xo
Hi, Kimberly! Those apples are incredibly beautiful and delicious looking! They almost look like Gala apples. Do you make applesauce and can that? I try to make as many pies that I can to freeze with just the apples I get at farm stands.
ReplyDeleteI read your last post and saw that you were in Kalamazoo. We live not very far from there...in Cassopolis, halfway between Kalamazoo and South Bend, IN. Small world!!
Love your blog, it's so happy!
XO,
Jane
Is there anything more wonderful in the Fall than an apple pie baking -made from apples you have picked yourself. Now...if I only had an apple picker!!! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteGorgeous to look at and I'm sure just as tasty to eat! Beautiful display in that sweet enamel wash tub!
ReplyDeletePoppy
Those are truly beautiful apples!
ReplyDeleteYum!!! Let me know when that pie is ready and I'll be right over. We had apple trees in our backyard in Ontario when I was growing up. They were delicious. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteMorning Kimberly, oh the apples look so pretty in the enamel bowl, I have the same bowl......Lucky to have the tree to pick those beauty's....Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious, can't think of anything better than fresh picked apples.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of apples. You might even want to dry some. Good for hubby! Yes, rewards are good! They are just a beautiful color and Granny's are my fav too.
ReplyDeleteThose apples look delicious! Love the bowl too! Have a great weekend!

Yum -- wouldn't really care what kind they are, but they almost look like a Pink Lady.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful apples! I can almost taste their sweetness :) Apple pie and apple sauce sounds divine - enjoy! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteApple season is here! Everyone is making apple butter! LOVE that.
ReplyDeleteThey are beauties! Some pie and applesauce sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea. I have 2 bags of apples and I think apple butter would be pretty cool to make. Blessings
